JibJen,
You are always welcome here, we have many people still in limboland here.
I don't know much about the droopy eyelid that you are talking about. I do know that sometime the nerves are affected and that may be causing it but I am not positive on that.
I wouldn't think that your age would bring on droopy eyelid but then everyone is different. I am sure alot depends on how much time has been spent in the sun, smoking, diet and other things but once again I am not sure.
Let us know what the results are of your vision field testing. Hope all works out for you.
Take Care,
Paula
I had a droopy eyelid, as well as optic neuritis, when I was first diagnosed. I think it was just weakness - eventually it went away.
hi there - my mum started with droopy eye lid, when diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, do you get swollowing issues jan x
Hello Everyone,
Thanks so much for your input. I can not say that anyone has ever mentioned my eyelid droop until now. I never noticed so I can not say if it has come and gone. I do get some blurred vision more than double vision. I can not really read until I really focus in and that can make me dizzy. I don't remember if the the droopy eyelid had the different pupil. I just remmebr him looking into eye and commenting for nurse to document.
michelleric - I think you might be thinking of Horner's Syndrome right? but I never noticed of diffrent sweating on face. When I told the doc I was seeing a neurologist initially for migraine but have had sensory issues for a year and am being tested, he decidded to do tests. I told him I was not dignosed with anything at this time and I am a wait and see mode.
janubears - hi. no I have not had any swollowing isssues.
I will certainly keep you posted as should have results from doc in about 2 weeks.
Thanks for your input. I apprecitae it.
Jibjen
Yes, I was thinking of Horners. I am wishing you well and hope you get some answers.

Is the pupil smaller on the side with the droopy lid?
Another weird question: Do you notice if you sweat unevenly on your face? ie: less on the droopy lid side?
I would highly recommend that you see a neuro-ophthalmologist. This could be a number of things, but I would certainly get it checked out by a neuro/neuro ophthalmologist.
Do u ever have double vision? What did the ophthalmologist think was causing the lid and pupil differences? Do u know why he/she wanted to do a visual field test?
Michelle
P.S. I dont think this has anything to do with your age.
